Puppets are a great tool for communication , but are never a
substitute for the reality of the Gospel, so they should never be used
to make the Word of God a story or fairy tale, but rather be used to
bring truths out of the Word always keeping in mind that the Father
sent His Son to open the the Way for man to commune with and become a
son of God by the indwelling Spirit of Christ ! Amazing Grace !
Therefore it is of great importance that people using puppets in the
ministry be aware of this reality in bringing out wonderful truths to
children, and in no way should it be known that the puppets are alive
or can communicate with God, only humans have this wonderful priviledge.
It is great to see how the children are open to puppet ministry and
it is also a fun way to memorise scriptures and praise songs.
Another aspect of puppetry is creating teams to put shows together
and seeing people work together in the Word so that they can
communicate their revelation of Christ in a fun way for children, some
in script writing, some in singing, some in organizing, some in the
technical sound aspects etc. all working together as a body with a
common goal, namely to preach Christ and evangelize the lost and dying.
Puppetry crosses all sorts or racial barriers and is openly accepted in many social areas.
Just remember live Life and have fun !
